I am curious how many others have been suffering from bulimia at least 15 years or more. I understand how the younger women feel the pressure to be perfect and I want to beg them to stop this terrible behavior now, before they too have to look back on their lives in this light. I also know that my battle feels different as an older woman now and am looking for others in similar situations. I am a 20-year veteran in this terrible war. How many others out there like myself?
realme....you are not alone. I didn't suffer from bulimia, but I did suffer with anorexia for over 37 years. You can get beyond this with the proper professional guidance and continued support. This site is a loving supportive place to share. I hope you will continue to reach out. Take care..Jan ♥
i suffered from anorexia for 13 years and 6 months of those i was bulimic... i am in recovery now--struggling--but working at it..
we are at war--with ourselves here..i like your anology..

i have suffered with bulimia for 24 years I don't count this year because I don't feel like I am suffering but letting ED know that I know about him and don't want him in my life anymore. Before that he had such a control over my life. he would tell me when and what to eat and tell me how large i was or commend me on being so much smaller than my friends and then birate me for not losing 10 pounds in a month.
i have been in this fight for such a long time and for once i feel like its really getting better month by month. some of the time its a lot easier and other times if makes me just sick that i still have a problem. so yes, i am a veteran and i too wish i could reach out to woman and men with this disease and tell them to stop the insanity.
